Tigercat Log Loader Features
One machine. Three jobs.
Some Tigercat loggers can be configured as a loader with various power clam and butt-n-top grapple options. The boom geometry and cab positioning provide unmatched right-hand side visibility. Equipped with a live heel boom system, Tigercat loggers are a highly capable shovel with excellent stability, tractive effort and swing torque. The 890 can also be configured as a high capacity processor capable of running large harvesting heads in demanding duty cycles.
Some of the many advantages of many Tigercat Loaders over excavator conversions include higher cooling capacity, a better operating environment, stronger undercarriage components and extremely efficient hydraulic circuits. The result is higher production, uptime and fuel efficiency for lower operating cost per tonne.
